There's lots of work going on in Texas, and yet none of you guys are discussing it. :-/

I moved to Austin a couple of years ago and have 15+ years of experience making music videos and commercials, including work for brands like Coke and Pepsi. I’ve also made a feature film and won some awards.

I'm excited to connect with fellow creatives and find some work locally. Any tips on where to start or meet people? Here’s my reel: https://vimeo.com/480738563

Thanks!

Howdy, my name is Zach Goodwin, I'm a filmmaker that's been based in LA for the last 4 four years. This summer, I'm coming back to my hometown of San Antonio to shoot a script I wrote, titled Stitched. The story is about a former counterfeit artist that is forced to listen to every single conversation that's ever been held about him, behind his back.

I'm bringing my talented filmmaking friends from New York, New Zealand, and LA to help me make it. We're raising the budget independently, here's our Kickstarter, and sourcing a majority of locations through family and friends. The crew, myself included, is hyper-passionate about getting this made some way, somehow. Check out @ stitchedmovie on Instagram to see the shenanigans of our crowdfunding campaign.

I'm looking for a Production Designer that's available all of June & July. As well as an HMU artist and someone for Wardrobe available most of the two months. The film is also a period piece, so if you have connections to vintage cars or locations, I'd love to make your acquaintance. Actors, if you'd like to learn more about the film, we just posted our listing on Backstage and Actors Access.

Feel free to reach out to [email protected] for any questions, resources, or advice (we'll take all of it) Everything is bigger in Texas, especially our love for movies.

How are the fellow filmmakers doing nowadays? It's pretty quiet in here. Anyone working on projects during this pandemic? Let's discuss!

Hi, so after I left theater world I decided to put my catalogue on sale. They would work perfectly on film!

There’s about 190 tracks and i’m composing more every week. Future releases will have full version, 60/30/15sec versions.

Comment below what kind of music would you like me to compose!

I'm putting together a club that meets weekly in the Spring/Woodlands area, near Cynthia Mitchell Woods Pavilion / The Woodlands Mall. Each week we will break down what makes great movie scenes work and then recreate and refine those ideas through short hands on projects. We will be building towards cinema quality results, even if it just ends up being posted on YouTube. The idea is for the projects to scale in size as our skills grow. Basically, the club will function like our own small film studio, learning and creating together from the ground up.

I'm looking for a few more dedicated people to help me get this off the ground, and anyone just looking to join in general. Comment or DM me if you're interested.

The Governor asked the lege to renew the program at $95M and they gave him $32. This isn't good for Texas crews. The entire industry in Texas will suffer if this program goes underfunded.

The petition asks Gov Greg Abbott to call a special session of the legislature to fully fund the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the call for entries for the tenth annual 2015 Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival (SFFSFF), a partnership between EMP Museum and the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF)! We’d love to see what you’ve been working on.

From now through September 15, 2014 the Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival will accept short film submissions that meet the following requirements:

• Up to 15 minutes in length

• Produced after 2010

• Animated or live-action

• Science fiction or fantasy (examples: futuristic stories, space adventure, technological speculation, social experiments, utopia and dystopia, sword and sorcery, folklore, urban fantasy, magic, and mythic adventure)

Visit sffsff.submittable.com to submit your film, and empmuseum.org/filmfestival for more information, including the Rules & Regulations. We welcome submissions that step outside the boundaries of reality and inspire a sense of wonder.

Wildly popular, SFFSFF has sold out the renowned 800-seat Cinerama for the last six years in a row, packing the house with enthusiastic fans from the region’s sci-fi, fantasy, and film communities. Selected films are presented on Cinerama’s massive 70-foot screen, and the theater features a new state-of-the-art sound system and digital projection.

SFFSFF films make waves around the world. Featured films have received national distribution and sparked the interest of a vast network of film fans. Plus, all films screen for a jury of luminaries in the fields of science fiction and fantasy film, television, and literature. Previous Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival films have been nominated for Academy Awards, featured in museum exhibitions, presented at festivals around the world, and received international awards and accolades.

We’re looking forward to watching this year’s exceptional science fiction and fantasy submissions!

We are Short Indies and we give the art of the short film the attention that it deserves. The running time of a short film ranges somehwere between 3 to 15 minutes, and the average short film lives a shelf live of a year or two before it is long discarded and fogotten about.

We take film submissions no matter how old or new they are, then we pick 5 films/filmmakers and screen their films live with an audience, every other month. We hold a Q and A on stage after each film, which is filmed by a camera crew. The Audience is encouraged to ask questions.

The next event is AUGUST 28 at the North Door.

Hello everyone,

I’m an amateur filmmaker who moved to San Antonio about 3 years ago, and I’d love to help build a local community where filmmakers — new or experienced — can share, screen, and celebrate their work.

I’m hoping to start a Film Appreciation Group for local creators who want to connect, learn, and showcase their projects in a friendly, supportive environment.

The goal:

• Build a local network of amateur filmmakers, writers, and editors

• Host small theatre-style showings for short films and creative projects

• Accept all formats and mediums — from iPhone footage to fully funded productions

• Create a submission and review process that encourages feedback and growth

• Foster collaboration and inspiration within the San Antonio film scene

Why:

I haven’t found much of an organized film community here outside of UTSA’s student programs. I think we can fill that gap and make something exciting — a grassroots creative hub for local storytellers.

Get involved:

If you’re interested or have experience in:

• Filmmaking

• Editing

• Acting

• Producing

• Or just love film and want to be part of the scene

Drop a comment or message me! Let’s start putting together ideas and see how much traction we can build.

Hey y’all

I’m looking for a cinematographer based in Texas or available for shooting there for a greenlit indie feature film this summer/fall in Austin area.

Must have narrative work under the belt.

All candidate websites/reels appreciated.

I’m gauging interest for the 48 Hour Film Project (Worldwide) on April 4-6!

👥 Looking to split the $168 entry fee—4+ co-leads = $42 or less each 🗓 Registration Deadline: April 3rd

📩 Drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested! More details in the comments.

I’ve recently been on a year long hiatus from working on a film organization I am trying to grow, and I would like to get back into it. To help me do so, I’m interested in bringing a partner into the fold. I’m envisioning a weekly weekend schedule to assist in a large swathe of activities, such as posting to social media, brainstorming productions, and otherwise assisting in general matters to help make things happen. I strongly believe that having another person involved with a similar drive would do wonders for consistency and overall enjoyment of engaging in this passion.

To date, the primary focus of the organization has been on creating short films. My goal is to eventually do short films on a monthly or bimonthly basis with shorts on a weekly or biweekly basis.

I have a lot more details for anyone interested. Drop a comment and we can talk more. Thanks!

Like the title says, I want to make something for my local film festival but I don’t know a lot of people in film. I can’t afford pay for actors, but I can buy food and what not. I want to create a film to break in my local community. I know a choreography and a friend who would be willing to act in another project I have. That’s it.

I am looking for actors, producers, writers to partner to with. I like to write, producers, and edit.

How can I make a film without a cast? Is there a way to get collaborate with filmmakers?

Location: Austin, TX Willing to travel a bit

I’m making a documentary in the UK and we need some specific B-Roll footage of Texas. We need some country roads, a farm or rural house with a porch and the interior of a music shop. If you can help then please email me at [email protected]. The film is very low budget but I can pay $120 for the footage. Thanks!

Hi all! I’ve been seeing a lot of posters around town (Houston) about this short film festival that’s happening in Houston early next year and I thought I would post about it here. It’s called SwaggerFest and they are being sponsored by local places like Microsearch and Photo Rental Source, so you can get discounts for rentals at those places if you are a participant in the festival.

If you are interested you can take a look at their website: www.swaggerfest.com

Hey everyone, my name's Tristan and I am hoping to get into film making and would love any help! I've never been as passionate about anything in my life and really do not see myself doing anything else but being involved in the industry in one way or another (behind the camera). I have been dying to meet like minded individuals who may want to collaborate so I can get some production experience under my belt. Any advice or ideas on how to get started and where to get my hands on some good filmmaking equipment would be much appreciated! Message me for any interests in wanting to collaborate.
